ECUADORIAN
Getting picked up in broad daylight by the Ecuadorian secret police was enough to persuade ALEX ALVEAR to get the hell out of Dodge -- moving to Boston in 1985, he enrolled at Berklee and quickly became a prime mover in the local Latin-American music and cultural scene, as bandleader of the pan-American jazz-and-pop band Mango Blue, as bassist and vocalist in any number of other projects, and as an organizer at the Jorge Hernández Cultural Center. Now, after years of mixing it up with all manner of Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, and other Latin-American styles, he's come home with his most personal album yet, Equatorial, which focuses on the folk-song forms of his native country. Alvear celebrates its release at -- where else -- the Jorge Hernández Cultural Center, 85 West Newton St, Boston | 8 pm | $20 | 617.927.1707.
